High Definition Photography
“Everything began in 1955 in Tuscany. On a family trip in the hills of Tuscany a car with Swiss licence plates moves forward only slowly. Hermann Seitz, the driver of the car, shoots pictures here and there for the family album. Back home he is not quite happy with his images. If only family and friends could see this landscape just the way it is in reality. His thoughts circle around a camera that rotates. Hermann Seitz gets to work in his shop. The next holiday trip – but this time something has changed. On the top of the car is a greyish-black object that father Seitz rotates once around its axis using a cable release. The first Seitz panorama camera is in action…”
In 2007, Seitz introduced new high definition digital cameras, Seitz 6×17 Digital, and Roundshot D3. Now you know my next birthday gift!!! These are totally mind blowing. You can’t take bad photographs with these cameras! Above picture is a panaromic photo of Miami from air by Peter Lorber. To see more samples click here.
Seitz 6×17 Digital (above) is the first digital 6×17 panorama camera. 160 million pixels in 1 second! You can capture action thanks to a minimum exposure speed of 1/2000 sec. (per pixel) – images full of speed, motion and life! It has a very user-friendly software with very advanced features.
Roundshot D3 (below) – digital 360° scanning camera with almost no limits in resolution. With 80mm medium format lens 470 million pixels in 2 seconds!
